This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released
Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in
1994 that have been referred to me but do
not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list because
they contain only Bob Dylan performances which are available on officially
released Dylan albums. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means
they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other
Internet site. Promo-only Various Artist compilation albums with Dylan tracks
and Radio Station Albums are included here also. Other International Albums and Compilations are now here:

This promo compilation contains the 1993 live version of My Back Pages with Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty,
Neil Young, Eric Clapton and George Harrison from the 30th Anniversary
Concert Celebration and You're Gonna Quit Me from Good As I Been To
You.

Sony Music
Entertainment 476941 2 (Europe), original soundtrack album (1994) -
outside of front insert, scan by Hans Seegers (US edition is the same - 2001 edition is
the same apart from the track number)

This soundtrack album includes Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, the Blonde
On Blonde album version and Joan Baez singing Blowin' In The
Wind, both on CD1. The 2001 "Special Collector's Edition" release has two extra tracks, both on CD2 and
not Dylan-related.

The 1994 Japanese release (32 tracks) comes in a
double-width 2CD jewel case and has a 14-page stapled booklet in English and a 20-page stapled booklet in English and Japanese.
There is a white obi with price Ą3,300 (Ą3,204 before tax) and the release date
is "94-11-21" (21 Nov 1994). The original
release date is "94-6-28" (28 Jun 1994) and the withdrawal date is
96-11-20"
(20 Nov 1996)

The 2002 Japanese "Special Collector's Edition" release (34
tracks) comes in what was a short-lived style of 2CD jewel case introduced
before the slimline design (slimmer than a double-width 2CD jewel case but
not as thin as the single-width slimline 2CD jewel case). It also has a 14-page
stapled booklet in English and a 20-page stapled booklet in English and
Japanese. There is a white obi with price Ą3,360 (Ą3,200 before tax) and the
release date is "02-7-10" (10 Jul 2002). The original
US release date is "01-8-21" (21 Aug 2001) and the withdrawal date is
03-1-9"
(9 Jan 2003)

This 1994 cassette release has a
very long multiple folded insert and contains 25 of the 32 tracks on the 2CD
release, including Bob. The cassette is transparent smoked grey with
white text, there are no paper labels.

Thanks to Dag Braathen for information that the
32-track ""Special Collector's Edition" of the soundtrack is being reissued
as a 3LP set by Srcvinyl in the USA on 4 Nov 2014. Srcvinyl say "To
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the motion picture Forrest Gump,
we're proud to announce the first ever North American vinyl pressing of the
soundtrack. All 32-tracks have been placed across three vinyl LPs to ensure
maximum audio-fidelity, in addition to vinyl mastering and lacquers by Kevin
Gray, and platting at RTI. The album will be available on 180 Gram "All
American" Red, White and Blue vinyl LPs, pressed at United Records in the
USA. First pressings will be hand numbered and limited."

This retrospective programme does not use live performances from
Woodstock 1969 but studio tracks recorded by the appearing artists. The
Dylan contribution is You Ain't Goin' Nowhere, the version with The Band
from The Basement Tapes (which was of course recorded at Woodstock). This set appears to be a 3CD version of the
5CD set above with the same show number, 94-33, that contains three Dylan
rarities, see
1994.

Bob did not of course appear at Woodstock 1969!

Thanks to Gil Walker for originally finding this on eBay and to Hans
Seegers for further information and scans.

Thanks to Tim Dunn for finding this promo cassette in a card sleeve on eBay promoting US
rock radio station WNEW-FM 102.7. This was a New York City station owned by
CBS Radio, today called WWFS. The eBay seller dated this as 1988, which is
ridiculous, considering it contains Dignity, most probably from the 1994
album Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3. Other artists on the 9-track
cassette are Aerosmith and Alice in Chains.

Bob's contribution to this promo compilation is Knockin' On Heaven's
Door, originally from 1973's Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, this time
actually taken from the 1994 compilation Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3,
specifically the Japanese release, Sony Records SRCS 7531. There is a 4-page
front insert. The cover picture shows Mariah Carey, Clémentine
and Jeff Buckley.

Bob's contribution to this promo compilation is Dignity, the 1989
out-take from Oh Mercy remixed by Brendan O'Brien, from the 1994 compilation
Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3, specifically the Japanese release,
Sony Records SRCS 7531. However, it appears here as the 4:38 radio edit, not
the full album track at 6:00.

Because this is a rarity, full details are in
1994. For another promo album in this
series, see above.
